Owing to the extraordinary richness of its physical properties, congruent lithium niobate has
attracted multidecade-long interest both for fundamental science and applications. The …

A review on lithium niobate single crystals and polycrystals has been prepared. Both the
classical and recent literature on this topic is revisited. It is composed of two parts with …

With existing and emerging technologies urgently demanding the expansion of the laser
wavelengths, high-performance nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are becoming …

MgO-doped LiNbO3 (LN: Mg) is famous for its high resistance to optical damage, but this
phenomenon only occurs in visible and infrared regions, and its photorefraction is not …

In this review article, we discuss photoluminescence phenomena mediated by polarons in
lithium niobate (LNO). At first we present the fundamentals on polaron states in LNO and …

The infrared spectra of stoichiometric LiNbO 3 crystals containing photorefractive damage
resistant ions (eg M= Mg, Zn, Sc, In, Hf, Zr or Sn) above their threshold concentration reveal …

As a promising candidate material for holographic 3D displays, lithium niobate (LN) is
limited by its low photorefractive (PR) response. Recently, it has been reported that bismuth …

Pyroelectric materials are widely investigated for thermal devices. As an efficient standard
for evaluation, the pyroelectric figures of merit (FoM) for specific thermal-related applications …

The lattice parameters in optical damage resistant crystal LiNbO3-In were measured for the
first time using the X-ray powder method with an internal standard, which provides a high …

Zr^ 4+-doped LiNbO_3 plates were prepared by diffusion of ZrO_2 films coated onto
congruent LiNbO_3 substrates in wet O_2. After diffusion, Zr^ 4+-doping effect on refractive …
